Bahrain-India flights cut

Low passenger traffic in Bahrain is forcing airlines to cut their flights to several Indian cities.
Jet Airways, which has operated daily flights to Kochi, Kerala, since January last year, is suspending its operations from tomorrow.
Jet Airways will, however, continue its daily flights from Bahrain to Mumbai.
Gulf Air has also decided to stop its operations to Kolkata and will temporarily suspend flights to Bangalore and Hyderabad on Sunday.
Sources said the flights were being suspended for summer and were expected to resume in October.
SriLankan Airlines has already stopped its flights to Kozhikode, Kochi, Hyderabad and Coimbatore and will stop its operations to Goa tomorrow.
The airline will, however, continue its services to Bangalore, Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram, Trichy, Mumbai and Delhi, said country manager Terrence De Silva. Sources said the airlines were suspending flights due to very low yield.
